Hi folks, welcome to yet another installment. Today I will speak of my first PC game, probably a big mistake on my part for having this be my first one, but I am quite grateful of it.

But let's actually do something about it. If you want the barebones story, read the ABC article linked BELOW.

First thing to talk about, the Obama Administration's utmost defense of DOMA. If you don't know what DOMA is by the name alone, you just need know the actual title (Defense of Marriage Act). Just sickening, also sickening that Clinton signed this in the 1990's, even more sickening that it is only defined as "constitutional" (which it isn't) because of the Full Faith and Credit Clause (Which was implemented long before our or the last generation, so there is no point to blame anyone here). But more sickening making me vomit (Metaphorically of course) is that the democratic president is defending it. You know which one, the one that said he would repeal "Don't Ask Don't Tell" and "DOMA". Yeah, that one. Using such language as "Not identified as a funamental right" or "Comperable to marriage between uncle and niece" and finally "Status Quo", which is just terrific. Honestly, what the hell do they expect to do with law language that seems to have come from the mouth of Jerry Falwell himself? I can write better than that, and know what? I will.

The repealment of DOMA will only do one thing, and that would be to compromise the current stable social status between gays/lesbians and those against the notion. The current social instability will be destroyed with the repealment of DOMA, and the posibility of further Von Brunn style attacks would increase. Social progress must be eased into place, and the repealment of DOMA will send everything into a spiral.

James Dobson and his politics of hate, hating people of different orientation, religion, and affiliation. The people who know him know what a despicable human being he is, we just know. Those who do not know him, well, they have no understanding of it. The pain brought to families by this man through his radio program, well it cannot be measured in any sense. So to out shock, Dobson had given his two cents on videogames, and you can read about it [HERE]

Well there are many things to mention here, one being that this is a fairly moderate view for an evangelical shithead, yeah you heard me. But also the study he used was of low quality. That isn't the point though, the point is regarding the fact that he is still a horrible human being. You think "Well of course he is, isn't that obvious?". Well that is because you are intelligent enough to recognize this. But some gamers aren't, and are even advocating that he is a changed man. This isn't new, in fact, this happens often. Everytime an everyday gamer finds someone else who plays videogames or defends videogames in the public setting, well they get all giddy. This cannot be denied for even we are slightly surprised when we find someone who plays videogames (The odds aren't that bad people, you will find people who do). That's fine though, I do it just as much. But, we aren't talking about those situations, we are talking about people who believe that the positive behaviour towards games represents a total flip on their character. Just read this comment on Gamepolitics which responds to me pointing out that Dobson is a piece of shit which was in response to another person who called Dobson level-headed (Which was an opinion he/she carried, which is fine)

The sane, levelheaded, monogamous homosexuals are either not paid attention to by our media, not out there, or otherwise not screaming out about who they are. The latter two are what is socially acceptable and desirable, as the people that are the loudest are usually not on the up and up (I.E. politicians), or at least that is what we are taught to believe.

You can hang the man based on his ignorance, or attempt to teach. It's hard to find positive, gay role models. Not because they don't exist, but because they aren't parading around like blithering idiots.

He can only make decisions based on the information he has and who he is. Apparently, he's gotten new information on video games and made a statement about it. Unlike Thompson, who will lump super mario world in with manhunt 2 uncensored, this guy seems to be willing to listen.

If you're just interested in blowing off steam, that's fine. But this guy's shown himself to be receptive to change, so why not finding out how to make contact with him and writing him a polite letter about this issue?

Here are a couple of reasons why Ron Paul's belief in liberty is complete horseshit. If you don't want to see my case, then I'll sum it up. He's a bigot.

-Ron Paul introduced the "We the People Act". Details can be found *HERE*
-He supports Don't Ask Don't Tell, despite his diatribe about how all people should be free. He claims that it is because any behaviour that is disruptive should be dealt with. This is horseshit as Don't Ask Don't Tell only effects gays in the military for rumoured behaviour. Plus if it really were open, then why doesn't he address the military rape numbers that are within the army? No reason.
-He supports the Defense of Marriage Act, which essentially gives the right to marriage upon the individual Christian hegemony, which we all know they are absolutely keen on distribution of rights they disagree with.
-As a follow-up to the "Defense of Marriage Act", he co-sponsored the Marriage Protection Act, so don't say he wants this to be in states rights when he literally goes out of his way to make sure even the states can't change the social hegemony.
-His Newsletters, which if you haven't heard, was known for making racist/sexist/homophobic/prejudiced comments. For 20 years he did not step in once to stop these comments from being made. So the argument that someone else wrote his newsletter is crap, 20 years is a long time to let this slide.
- Thinks the inclusion of private property will help lower corporate pollution. Sure Paul, whatever you say.

-Finally, for the reasons of social justice only (I haven't even gone into the whole racism thing). Watch this clip.

If any of you ever watch PBS' Frontline, you would understand how amazing it is. Considering they are publicly funded, each of their programs must be of the highest quality (And they truly are amazing, all of them, America's Test Kitchen included). Well this is regarding a time shortly after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr, and a teacher had an idea to explain what racism was, and fully convey this idea of the power of bigotry. 40 years later we still have that problem, the lack of understanding. But anyways, what she did was separate her students, from blue eye to brown eye (All based on eye colour). The results are very interesting to the point where she does the same with adults at a correctional facility, not prisonners, but the workers there. People who know each other deeply, and are great friends. Even there, excellent results.

I suggest you watch the whole thing [HERE] when you have the chance.

Just a small show and tell for the good people over here at Giantbomb. Enjoy!

Far Cry 2 is like a bottle of wine, not just any bottle of wine, but let’s imagine a port. A strong red wine, one that cannot be consumed all at once as if it were beer. It would be a large mistake for you to drink all of it at once as it is damaging to your liver and your interest in wine. The point is that Far Cry 2 required patience and taught it to people who welcomed it. The one final thing that the game had done was give a sense that your actions mean nothing in the grand scheme. Many of the critics of the game said that the story was far too vague and you couldn’t understand the big picture, but that is the point. Your actions don’t have any impact, and even the godlike actions of this man that you are supposedly chasing were not enough to do anything as he is quickly replaced in the final message.

Far Cry 2 goes against convention to tell us that we have no power despite the hundreds we kill. Our hero can do nothing and we are told so.

ONE LAST THING!!!!!! SPOILERS

If you have played Far Cry 2 to the end, you would know about the Heart of Darkness (Aptly named after Joseph Conrad's novel "Heart of Darkness). Which is easily the most intense gameplay in video games. There should be no debate, as to the emotional connection to the environment. Its clever use of music and atmosphere leaves you on edge with every other step. What do I mean? Well, let's just say you should have a silenced weapon cache with you, because you won't be able to restock for the rest of the game.

Who here has heard of the murder of George Tiller? Who here has not heard of George Tiller? Well allow me to explain.

George Tiller was an "Abortionist" (Also known as abortion doctor) made famous for taking part in late term abortions, in the circumstances of health complications. Naturally you understand who is enemies are. There's no point in saying it, but being equipped with a metaphorical sledgehammer, it was the Christian FUNDAMENTALISTS. His "Clinic" was based in Kansas and was often hit by Christian fundamentalists, and by often you must understand that there was a shooting, a bombing, badgering, threatening letters, broken equipment, kidnapping attempts, stalking, the whole list. And I mean LIST.

Well okay, first things first a complete description of my opinion. Prop 8 sucks, and is borderline unconstitutional (I can think of many reasons why it is unconstitutional, but it seems as if that amendment only applies to the colour of skin, go figure). The people who had funded it are mainly Christian fundamentalist in nature and only wish to track their lost power back into their hands, which essentially means they funded this for a simple (But profound) power acquisition they believe they needed.
